Effect of Fiber Type, Water Content, and Velocity on Wetness Perception.

What is it about?

To investigate the effect of heat, moisture transfer, and mechanical tactile properties of fabrics on kin wetness perception when fabrics were in dynamic contact with skin at three velocities, nine knitted fabrics varying in fiber composition, thickness, and surface texture were evaluated by 20 participants using a wetness rating scale.

Why is it important?

The aim of the research is to establish the relationship between objective physical parameters and subjective wetness ratings. Two evaluation methods, that is, stimulus intensity rating and a threshold detection test was used.
